quote:4/22/2012: Signed a four-year, $21.1 million contract. The deal contains $11.3 million guaranteed, including a $5.3 million signing bonus and all of Greer's first-year base salary. Another $2 million is available through incentives. Greer is eligible for annual $100,000 workout bonuses throughout the contract's life. 2013: $3.6 million (+ $400,000 roster bonus), 2014: $4 million (+ $400,000 roster bonus), 2015: $4.2 million (+ $400,000 roster bonus), 2016: Free Agent

Can someone translate this if this is a cuttable contract, a reworkable contract like lofton and bunkley's or what can be done. IF we sign Nnamdi, then does it mean anything for Greer or not?

Say hypothetically that Lewis and NA are both on the roster at that start of the season with no injuries. What happens if Keenan Lewis just doesn't work out? There is a certain level of risk involved with getting an "on the cusp of greatness" type of player. Yes, I think he will work out, but what if he doesn't? We could be wishing we had Greer back pretty early in the season.

Also, say one of these two guys gets a major injury and he is out for the season, what then? Move PRob in as number 2? We all saw how awful he was last year when Greer was out. We need a 3rd guy as nickel, and Greer fits the bill perfectly as a true starting nickelback and a rotational/situational guy at the position.

I know. Maybe there's a reason I don't have a job as an NFL GM, but if I were numbers gaming, jokers like Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma, Roman Harper, Sed Ellis would all be looking for employment elsewhere.

I know what I will get with Greer and Robinson, and it's just too bad how they were isolated and burnt so badly because of a God awful front 7.

You can't always have a 20 million dollar what if player on the roster. What if Drew goes down? We still have Prob and corey White both are more the protypical long and sizeable corners that rob ryan likes to have. What if What if What if. What if we actually were prepared for what ifs last year. We still can draft a body in the draft as well.

I think you will see much better from P rob with not having to play as much zone next year. While we can save cash by cutting Greer we need proven depth. Our div. is loaded will QB talent and skill at the WR positions. Unless they graded Greer very low after reviewing his year I think he will be back. His cap hit is minimal.

And we can get another Corey White or Usama Young like that too. We know what to expect with Greer, he has been the only guy in the secondary that knows how to at least cover in the same zip code of his receiver. I don't consider him a "what if" player. In a passing league you need 3 starting corners.
